A SCARE,


The st. Cloud Times processes to
expose the true inwardness Of the
opposition OF county division. 1t
says:
At q meeting of the citizens Of 81. Cloud
held on the evening Of the 10th OF February,
the vote by which the resolutions opposing
the county division bill were passed was re.
considered, upon motion of Capt. West, ad-
vocated by F. L. Searle, and Representative
Freeman was left free to act his will. The
next day, IL suddenly dawned upon our re.
publican brethren that, If the division did
take place, which they had learned was quite
probable, It would take out five or six CT the
eight or nine republican towns. with over
half OF the republican vote Of the county, ind
that they, the republican leaders Of at
Cloud, would thus be reduced to very small
proportions In republican state conventions.
This created CONSERVATION among the
sachems. and it was Immediately resolved
that the county division bill must be defeat
ed at all hazards. 1--WE" myers and me)
must have "home backing" and, on monday
morning, hasty meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, which had last been in session
luton was adopted requ esting our delega-
ton to oppose the bill. This resolution was
supported by the Democrats in the meeting,
who were opposed to division on principle.
and not because of any political feature in
volved in the movement. We learn, from
an insiee source. that 1t was decided that the
county division bill must be defeated, If
everything else, even the retormatory bill
was sacrificed, and, of course. the county d.
vision bill W i'll be slaughtered. In tn is way
the st. Cloud republicans will still retain
and hold in loving embrace their party asso-
siates IL the "Western end" and tho "St.
Cloud ring" will retain its prestige in future
republican oonclaves. The Sauk Centre
brethren will. as Us ual, Cooperate with the
faithful here.
Since the above was placed in type. we
learn that our republican brethren have
been further "consternated" by hearing that
Representative freeman has pledged himself
not to oppose the division bill.

HOW ST. CLOUD LOVES Us.

The following choice extracts from
the Journal Press of last week indi-
cate what is thought of us now. OF
course, the tone will be quite differ
ent about next election time:
1t is unfortunate for Sank Centre
that she is located upon the extreme
boundry of the county, but her mis-.
fortune is no excuse for her selfish
and defiant policy in wanting to d.
vide tho county in order to be a lit.
tie county !! seat : all by herself !.
AS far as heard from, the only part
of Western Stearns asking for di.
vision of the county is Sank Centre.
The feeling of bitterness toward
st. Cloud which fills the resolutions
of the Village Board of Trade, and
tho columns of the HERALD, is con-
fined to a very few people of the
village who believe that this is the
only way to carry the county dlvi-
sion matter. These howlers will not
benefit Sank Centre by their chosen
methods of warfare.
II * *
There are some people at Sank
Centre (which is not all of western
Stearn" by good deal) who are sad
ly in need of a guardian.
* * x
Sank Centres representatives will
find it Just as well in the end to stick
to the truth.
The above are only specimen
bricks in the construction of two
solid columns.
